Ollie Quinn [Seattle] + Holiday Promo

Thursday, November 23, 2017

Happy Thanksgiving guys!

I'm bringing you a new post today because I wanted to let you know about my recent experience at Ollie Quinn! If you haven't heard of Ollie Quinn, they are an eyewear company which got rebranded back in March 2017. They consider themselves a "glocal" brand which means they think globally (they offer their products online) but also act locally. They have an international presence and is still growing in new regions but maintains what is really important to them which is to keep that close ties to their local communities that their stores are located in. Such as their recent store that had just opened back in August in Seattle! Their tagline is "Create Your Own Vision" because they love to support local creatives and even take part by hosting events for local visionaries and new start-ups and even allows creatives to come work and share space within their store. Really amazing! When I went in for my visit, they were actually hosting a pop-up shop for a local jewelry company called hodina. :)

As for my experience, I was thrilled to collaborate with them for their upcoming holiday promo for Black Friday/Cyber Monday that will start tomorrow, Friday November 24th @ 12am PST. But more about that later.. ;) I was greeted right away by Briar, who is their certified optician who helped figure out which pair to go for my face shape. He knew right away about my nose bridge and how I needed the nose pads to prevent the frames from sliding down. I decided on a pair of sunglasses as I already do wear contacts so I was given time to try on a couple of frames that I liked. All of their frames begin at one flat rate of $125 which also includes single vision prescription lenses and scratch resistant and glare resistant coatings. Ollie Quinn design, produce, and sell their goods themselves which allows them to offer fair and highly competitive pricing.

I was honestly torn between two frames, the Roz and the Josephine which in the end I went with the Josephine just because it was something different than anything I had in my collection and I just love how it fitted my face! Those nose pads! haha.. Briar and team agreed that I chose the right pair as he helped me make final adjustments to fit the Josephine frames perfectly. The service and attention to the details was awesome! I would highly recommend if you're in need of a new pair of frames! Which brings me back to their holiday Black Friday/Cyber Monday promo! It starts tomorrow at 12am PST (which means midnight tonight) until Monday, November 27th @ 11:59pm PST.. much of their website will be on sale with 20% off your first pair, and up to 50% off your second pair plus free shipping! So definitely should go check it out!
